What lifts a single girl’s spirit most―aside from finding a man, of course―is meeting other girls in her same boat. Who’s Picking Me Up From the Airport? opens with Cindy Johnson’s story and she will quickly become your newfound single companion. Her refreshing and comical commentary on adult Christian dating provides readers the much needed opportunity to laugh and celebrate single life for what it is: joyful and complicated.
Beneath the candor and self-deprecation, Who’s Picking Me Up From the Airport? is built on the question, “Does Jesus actually care about dating and singleness? And if so, how does he enter into it?” Have you ever found yourself wary of voicing your concerns for fear of appearing desperate or lacking in faith. Cindy’s choice to put it all out there creates a powerful and much needed safe place for vulnerability and honesty around singleness.
This book addresses head on the difficult reality experienced by singles in the Church. Cindy will push you to seek Jesus first, even when you don’t get the things you want. Each chapter begins with a short letter written by single Christian women to other women from all walks of life. You will be reminded that you are not alone. In authentic pages filled with humor and truth, you will find in Who’s Picking Me Up from the Airport? what you need most―a friend.

Flexible Software Design: Systems Development for Changing Requirements

A developer's knowledge of a computing system's requirements is necessarily imperfect because organizations change. Many requirements lie in the future and are unknowable at the time the system is designed and built. To avoid burdensome maintenance costs developers must therefore rely on a system's ability to change gracefully-its flexibility. Flexible Software Design: Systems Development for Changing Requirements demonstrates the design principles and techniques that enable the design of software that empowers business staff to make functional changes to their systems with little or no professional IT intervention. The book concentrates on the design aspects of system development, the area with the most flexibility leverage. Divided into four parts, the text begins by introducing the fundamental concepts of flexibility, explaining the reality of imperfect knowledge and how development participants must change their thinking to implement flexible software. The second part covers design guidelines, stable identifiers, stable information structures, the Generic Entity Cloud concept, and regulatory mechanisms that give business staff control over system modifications. Part three relates strategic information systems planning to flexible systems. It examines the elicitation of requirements and the relevance of agile methods in a flexible systems environment. It also discusses practical aspects of stable identifier design and compares the testing of traditional and flexible software. In part four, the book concludes with details of the flexible UniverSIS system and an explanation of the applications and extensions of the Generic Entity Cloud tools. The combination of smart design and smart work offered in Flexible Software Design can materially benefit your organization by radically reducing the systems maintenance burden.

You will have many times in your life when you need to hang on, but occasionally you will need to buckle up and strap in for the ride. That is no lie. This is the story of my life as a normal (okay, semi-normal) working mom raising a family and then bam! I was hit with major health issues-major as in the Mayo Clinic kind of things. This is the account and play-by-play (I was a coach) of how life can become seriously something you never envisioned and how things happen that you would not wish on your worst enemy. How I was able to do things that I never figured I would have the courage and strength to get through. How God equipped me to face these trials by keeping my head up and walking the walk. You will be able to see the change from a fairly strong woman to someone who now feels she can face anything head-on and not feel the need to drive herself off a cliff. There have been life-changing tests that seemed terrible and overwhelming, but they were things that I now see needed to happen. I saw firsthand that there are angels on earth. We are given people to help us share our journeys with, make each other better. Life is more fun together, and that is how we can live a great story. But most importantly, breathe.
